You're driving to work when a car cuts into your driveway and nearly hits your car. You go crazy right away, and it starts you off with a bad omen.
A colleague of yours called and said he was sick again, which means you'll be doing double work for the third time this month. Your own life has piled up, and you have to finish hers. You head to the manager's room, ready to explode. You bought a ticket to watch it with your family, but the dark clouds above your head are getting thicker and thicker, which disrupts your plans. Your child is disappointed, and you curse God for ruining your day. It would be great if you could control your emotions and get rid of these or other similar things that might happen, wouldn't it? It's natural to feel annoyed when things don't go as planned. But often, we overreact and create a domino effect that keeps us from seeing the bright side of things.
Former world heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman had a good point: "Being angry and unhappy with someone is like letting it live in your head for free." Controlling emotions is a challenge for people of all ages. But it's totally doable! You are the only one directly responsible for your emotions. You are responsible for your actions and responses, and no one can make you respond a certain way. "The greatest discovery of my generation is that people can change the outer aspects of their lives by changing the inner attitude of their minds." The American philosopher William James once said at the end of the 19th century. Obviously, this problem has existed for a long time. Fortunately, there are some very effective ways to manage your emotions. Of course, this takes practice. But the payoff is unmistakable, and you will thank yourself for it. Here are a few areas to practice:
Develop good self-care habits. Take care of your physical, emotional and spiritual needs. People who do this regularly will be better able to deal with negativity. And will not pose a threat to others.
Identify feelings of anger and frustration - mentally and physically. The chances of acting recklessly are much greater if one is disconnected from one's own feelings.
Get out of the tension and go for a walk. Take the necessary time to process feelings and emotions. Time may be enough for a deep breath, or a slow count of 10.
Confess your emotions to those who are willing to listen but not judge.
Find a temporary distraction to do. This refers to doing something that gets your mind off the topic.
Take action. Think about how you can positively change the situation, and then take action to solve the problem.
Talk to those who can help you achieve change about your desire to make a change.
The mind should be "right", not "wrong". Here is a story worth thinking about: a shop run by a gardener, handed down by their family for generations. It is remembered that this generation of shop owners and previous generations were very positive people. Most people think it's because they run a successful store. In fact, the opposite is true. The shop has a tradition that the owner always wears a large badge on the lapel with the words "Business is good" on it. Although they are going through tough times just like everyone else, the attitude and badge of the shopkeeper never change. When everyone sees this badge for the first time, they all ask, "How good is the business?" After the badge sparked a conversation, the flower shop owner would tell a lot about the positive aspects of his business and work. Even people who feel miserable will feel much happier after listening to a few minutes of this infectious and optimistic shopkeeper. It's hard to give a measure of this attitude, but in a way, it may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The owner once said frankly: "With this badge, good business will follow." In fact, when it comes to our lives and our lives, why not?
